I am about to throw together two systems with NF2 chipsets and WINXP pro.
I have little experience with XP and it says the nvidia drivers should be installed AFTER service pak1 is installed.
How do I get service pak1?
Will it be bundled with the XP disks?

I installed the service pack after video drivers on numerous occasions without a problem.
The new XP home disks from Dell included the service pack in the install.

hmmm...
they will be delivered friday and I just want to be ready.
The nvidia unified driver package says only after SP1 is installed.
Can I DL SP1 somehow?
I am a total XP install nOOb.

^^^what they said.
always installed the nvidia's before sp1, and never had a problem.
remeber to do a windows update AFTER SP1 is installed, they had some major security fixes since then.

update on this project:
I had some headaches getting these two machines going.
First one was due to the CS (cableselect) jumper on the IDE devices.
The master/slave jumper needs to be IGNORED on this board ans all IDE devices left on CS. Otherwise it takes forever to detect the devices- like about 5 minutes!
The small change has major effect.
Also the Seriel ATA needs disabled if unused.
Well after I found those two things I got one system loaded up fine with XPPro. The sevice pak was on the disk BTW.
But the second system kept giving me errors trying to copy the XP files. It seemed to be from a scratched CD mebe or a bad CD drive? So I went thru 3 diff CD drives and tried reinstalling countless times.
Finally I swapped memory modules from the good machine and it worked perfectly... a bad DDR dimm from multiwave.
So now I have issues with Mwave for the first time and I'm bummed.
They sent me the wrong keyboards in this order. I wanted a pair of the Logitech Elite Duo wireless KB/mse and they sent me the Access KB's and no mice. Boned out of about 120 bucks there alone.
And the MEM is bad.
I emailed them about it and a woman called me and told me they would ship out the right KB's and a new module. They would email me a shipping lable to print out prepaid.
That was a week ago and I still have heard nothing further.
I delivered the first machine to my buddy and it is quite awesome.
He's just going to use it to chek his email and type concrete bids! LOL.
I can highly recommend this board now(Asus A7N8X dlx), it's just a complicated beast with some new ways.
UPDATE:: MWAVE came through again and relpaced all parts no problemo.
